    I have already sold two thousand worth of parts that came with the bike.
    I am a BMW guy and need the shelf space for my Beemer parts.
    What I have left is lots of big parts like this brand new head with new valves and gasket ki

      hate to say it...but rarely does one get back the money they invest into a machine...As well done as this may be its not OEM so $5500 is just too much to ask...now if the Doc. had restored this to all original condition then i would say $5500 would be fair...so in short to command top dollar condition and originality win the big bucks...GLWS

            If so, that's expensive stuff.

            A front/rear set for my C14 costs around $3K.
            Yeppers.........those are Ohlin's piggyback gas shocks.

                Work well but not Ohlins...

                For the performance, the aftermarket pipes are gonna be loud, and unless there is a gps top speed run done to compare how they "run out" the bike probably has more noise than an extra dose of any kind of speed.

                It is a nice bike but it is not near a $5500 package. Not stock exhaust, not chrome fenders, non-original engine, mix and match parts (albeit parts that are in nice shape). For $5500 a guy can buy a whole lot of real "original" fast in a whole lot of bikes.

                Just being realistic and hope it helps re-adjust the sights on the price and description.
                Gas Olhins.............BTW, wouldn't bet me on it either.

                  BS flag.

                  Those are not Ohlins. If they were they would be advertised as such. Those are the RFY shocks that are designed to resemble Ohlins . But I can be convinced otherwise by whatever proof there is that would somehow win the bet for you Brant

                    Dang short-fused edit function... Ohlins are black letters on gold reservoir, these are clearly a blue outline/square with the letters being the same gold as the reservoir. Not Ohlins, true story.

                      That's been modded like crazy Prothec. If that's it, it's a long way from "Restored".
                      +1...........and way long way from it also.
